    Grier throws 5 TDs, No. 12 WVU rocks Kansas State 35-6

    West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen isn't worried about quarterback Will Grier being overwhelmed by the attention and pressure that comes with being a Heisman Trophy candidate. Grier has thrown far too many passes. Played in far too many games. Diagnosed far too many defenses to let the hype train get in his head.

    "I'm not worried about overloading him," Holgorsen said. "He's mature. He's grounded. He's comfortable on where he's at. He knows how to handle this. He's a professional that's in college."

    Looks like it.

    Grier and the 12th-ranked Mountaineers overcame a sluggish start to drill Kansas State 35-6 in the Big 12 opener for both teams on Saturday. The senior completed 25 of 35 passes for 356 yards with five touchdowns, three of them to David Sills, and two interceptions as West Virginia (3-0) enjoyed a rare breather against the Wildcats.

    Texas hold off Kansas State 19-14 to snap road skid

    Texas coach Tom Herman talked with one of his predecessors, Mack Brown, just as he does every week, and the old Longhorns coach warned him about playing Kansas State in Manhattan.

    They're a different team on the road, Brown said. They play with more energy, channeling the will of the crowd, and the team that was trounced by West Virginia last week wouldn't show up Saturday.

    "It was very much the way we told our players it would be," Herman said.

    The No. 18 Longhorns roared to a big lead, bogged down in the second half, then held on through a tense fourth quarter for a 19-14 victory that snapped a five-game road skid against the Wildcats.

    Cornelius leads Oklahoma State to 48-28 rout of Kansas

    After last week's 24-point loss to Texas Tech that knocked them out of the top 25, Oklahoma State came to Kansas on Saturday needing a big win. Almost right away, you could tell that wouldn't be a difficult goal.

    Taylor Cornelius passed for 312 yards and four touchdowns, Justice Hill ran for 189 yards and the Cowboys (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) cruised to a 48-28 win over the Jayhawks (2-3, 0-2 Big 12).

    Grier has 4 TDs, 4 turnovers, No. 9 WVU beats Kansas 38-22

    One messy game didn't diminish West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen's confidence in Heisman Trophy hopeful Will Grier.

    Grier's four turnovers overshadowed a four-touchdown performance in No. 9 West Virginia's 38-22 victory over Kansas on Saturday.

    No. 19 Texas beats No. 7 Oklahoma on last-minute field goa

    Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger flashed the "Hook 'Em Horns" sign to the ecstatic burnt orange end of the stadium after his third rushing touchdown and soon after that threw his second scoring pass.

    A year after briefly putting the Longhorns ahead late in their Red River Showdown game against Oklahoma when he started as a freshman, Ehlinger had Texas ahead by three touchdowns going into the fourth quarter Saturday.

    But Ehlinger still needed one more drive to win the game and delivered, setting up freshman Cameron Dicker's 40-yard field goal with nine seconds left to give 19th-ranked Texas a 48-45 victory over the No. 7 Sooners after Kyler Murrayhad rallied them with three touchdowns in a six-minute span.

    Iowa State throttles No. 6 West Virginia 30-14

    It was arguably West Virginia's biggest test, on the road at night against a plucky Iowa State team with a stifling defense and a dangerous young quarterback.

    The sixth-ranked Mountaineers failed miserably.

    Freshman Brock Purdy threw for 254 yards and three TDs and Iowa State throttled West Virginia 30-14 on Saturday, handing the Mountaineers their first loss in emphatic fashion.

    No. 13 West Virginia was determined to make up for being embarrassed in its last game on the road.

    Will Grier threw three touchdown passes and the Mountaineers used a big second quarter to cruise to a 58-14 victory over Baylor on Thursday night.
